Thursday July 3

Bob: We have major problems with the blog editing screen. It is so large that the page does not fit on one screen. Also, as we type the cursor will move all over the place causing the typed letters to appear at random. And we accidently hit the wrong keys and everything gets erased. Would like some suggestions from someone. In an attempt to get around the editing problem with our blog I am going to attempt to write posts in Open Office and then paste it in the blog. Looks like it will work, so yesterday's activities will be posted later. Thursday started with a bike ride. Started for Elk Lake which is 4 miles away. However, Bonnie thought she could go farther. Did a 180 and started the other way. Goal was 5 miles each way for total of 10. As we approached the 5 miles Bonnie said she could go some more. Told her there was a roadside picnic area just over 6 miles from camp so we headed there. After we arrived she rested while I rode a little more. Went back and picked her up for the trip home. As we neared home she said the next time we rode that I might tempt her to go farther if we could stop in town and get some ice cream! Told her I had some money if she wanted to try today. She wasn't decided when we arrived back at the camp entrance, but I saw the widow of the previous camp owner out mowing her lawn (she lives next door to the camp). Told Bonnie that I needed to stop and see her. Her name is Jean Pelisser. After talking with Jean I asked Bonnie if she still wanted the ice cream. She said she would try. So we went into town, got her some ice cream and returned to the camp. All told she rode slightly over 20 miles and wasn't worn out when we arrived at camp. In the afternoon she worked on some things in the cabin while I went fishing. Caught one pike on a lure that Wade Stevens had shown me that works for him when trout fishing. Thanks Wade! After a walleye dinner we went fishing. Total catch was 1 perch, 1 walleye and 1 large pike. Will try to add pictures. When we got home and began to update the blog the problems with the editing started.
